Worse Than small-Pox.

| A GREAT DANGER WHICH MENACE;
AN UNsUsPICIoUs PUBLIC.
The Prompton Hospital for eonsumptives
in London, reports that over fifty people on
of every hundred consumptives, are victiml
of constipated or inactive kidneys.
Consumption is one ofour national diseases
and the above report goes to prove what hal
| often been said in our columns during tht
last eight years, that kidney troubles are moi
only the cause of more than half of the casei
of consumption, but of ninety out of every
hundred other common diseases. They who
have taken this position. made their claims
after elaborate investigation, and their proof
that they have discovered specific for the
terrible and stealthy kidney diseases which
have become so prevalent among US, is wise
| and convincing.
We have recently received from them a
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising
They have challenged the medical profession
and science to investigate. They have in
vestigated, and those who are frank have ad-
nitted the truth of their statements. They
originally from inactive kidneys; that these
inactive kidneys allow the blood to become
filled with uric acid poison that this uric
acid poison in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
system within twenty-four hours to kill half
dozen men.
This being a scientific fact, it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
Ifthis poison is not removed, it ruins every
organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver be-
come inactive, we know it at once, but other
organs help them out. If the kidneys become
constipated and dormant, The warning comes
later on, and often when it is too late, because
the effects are remote from the kidneys and
those organs are not suspected to be out of
order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are ina
BILE SO resist the ATTACKS of this poison, and
the disease often takes the form of and is
treated-as local affection, when in reality
the real cause of the trouble was inactive
kidneys.
Too many medical men of the present
day hold what was fact twenty years ago,
that kidney disease is incurable, according to
the medicines authorized by their code.
Hence they ignore the original cause of dis
ease itself, and give their attention to useless
treating of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine, NOR
phine, or with salts aud other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with Inflammation, liberation and decay, and
the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through the hear, passes through the kidneys.
1.-THE kidneys are diseased, the blood soaks
up this disease and takes it all through the
system. Hence it is that the claim is made
that Warmers safe cure, the only known spe-
citic for kidney diseases, which is sold so
largely by all dealers, cures 80 per cent. of
human ailments because it, and it alone, is
able to maintain the natural activity of the |
kidneys, and to neutralize and remove the |
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is |
formed.
If this acid is not removed, there is mac
tivity of the kidneys, and there will be pro-
duced in the system paralysis, apoplexy,
dyspepsia, consumption, heart disease, head. |
aches, rhematism, pneumonia, impotency, |
and all the nameless diseases of delicate |
women. Ifthe poisonous matter is separat-
ed from the blood, as fast as it is formed,
these diseases in majority of cases, would |
not exist.
1t only requires particle of smallpox vir-
US to produce that vile disease, and the pois-
onous matter from the kidneys, passing all |
through the system aud becoming lodged in
different weak points, is equally destructive,
although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood passing
through them goes to the heart and luags
and other parts Of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it, ali would believe with
put hesitation what has SO often been stated |
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs in the
body.
They may regard this article as an adver-
iisement and refuse to believe it, but that is a |
matter over which we have no control. |
Careful investigation and science itself are
proving beyond doubt that this organ is,
in fact more important than any other in the |
'ystem as health regulator, and as such |
should be closely watched, for the least sign |
Of disordered sction.
